(prHWY.com) May 7, 2012 - Nagpur, India -- Earlier like 20 years back, the concept of travelling to other country was not even considered by UK and USA citizens, as their medical system was much better than any other countries medical facility. In fact affluent people from other countries used to travel to UK and USA for their treatment and surgery while commoners had to adjust with what was available in their own country as the cost of surgery is huge in these developed countries. However, today the concept of affordable medical care outside their own country is a growing phenomena. A growing number of American and European medical tourists are setting out for India, Thailand and Singapore for everything from dental work to breast implants to major heart surgery at best facilities and hospitals at a much affordable cost when compared to developed countries.
Medical tourism India is helping international patients requiring medical treatment, travel to India to be treated with the primary intention of saving costs on their medical procedure.
Growing demand for health services is a global phenomenon, linked to economic development that generates rising incomes and education. Demographic change, especially population ageing and older people's requirements for more medical services, coupled with epidemiological change, i.e. rising incidence of chronic conditions, also fuel demand for more and better health services. Waiting times and/or the increasing cost of health services at home, coupled with the availability of cheaper alternatives in developing countries, has lead new healthcare consumers, or medical tourists, to seek treatment overseas. The correspondent growth in the global health service sector reflects this demand. The government of India is also promoting the medical tourism. The Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Health are working together to promote this concept. A new category of medical visa has been introduce, which can be given for specific purpose to foreign tourist coming to India for medical treatment.
Medical tourism in India can be broadly defined as the service of providing cost-effective private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients requiring surgical and other forms of specialized treatment. India's healthcare services are built on a foundation of world-class quality, safety and trustworthiness, coupled with advanced research and international accreditation. Over the past few years, patients from developed countries such as United States and Europe also have been choosing India as their medical travel destination for relatively affordable quality and yet hassle free healthcare services in a clean cosmopolitan city.
Medical tourism India is often as much about the tourism as the medicine. For those undergoing major surgery, there is no better place to recover than a bungalow with a view of the beach while receiving your physical therapy (or massage). Similarly, for family accompanying a patient a week at the beach or a shopping spree can clear up a lot of stress following a surgery. For those not going under the knife, there is even more incentive to be a medical tourist. Given the cost of dentistry, the savings for even minor work can cover the cost of the trip. Many regular medical tourists will plan their physical exams, dental work and other minor services, like cosmetic surgery, and bundle them in with a weeklong beachside vacation in the tropics. Overall, their vacation is still cheaper that having the services in the US. Many companies are also appreciating this strategy, sending employees on vacations to save on medical costs and saving on health insurance while giving their workers care they otherwise might not have access to.
